I was supposed to go out with friends last night and was reading while I was waiting for them to arrive. Was really glad they were about 45 minutes late, because I had just gotten to this part of the book and was hooked by the descriptions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5206380617235471991.post-39158842083258680052011-01-05T16:35:20.701-05:002011-01-05T16:35:20.701-05:00It was Edward Rutherfurd&#39;s book New York that ...It was Edward Rutherfurd&#39;s book New York that led me to google &quot;Dakota Blizzard 1888&quot;; a fantastic book with vivid descriptions of the storm.

He was 12 years old at the time. <BR/><BR/>He would tell me that in some areas of the city, tunnels were dug to get to building entrances. <BR/><BR/>He and his 4 brothers and one sister lived in a small tenament in Brooklyn with my great grandfather. My great grandmother died in childbirth. And my grandfather being the oldest of the kids, took over the household chores while my greatgrandfather worked as a ferry captain. <BR/><BR/>It was the coldest he said he had ever been in his life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5206380617235471991.post-77119688974009204262009-03-03T08:39:00.000-05:002009-03-03T08:39:00.000-05:00Imagine all the horse manure under the snow!
